while on the topic, i have a bipap pro2 used for a year and half in excellent condition, hh, bag, etc, and provider manual that i do not need any more as i acquired an auto. always used distilled water. interested? pm reasonable offer or req phone to discuss. thanks.

funny, i read krousseau's answer as a tounge in cheek response because i read the original as being the mask pillows. go figure.

i thought her response was ever so clever, just to find out how little it takes to confuse and humor me.

the only thing to watch out for is the SQL server. do a search and get the tips. it being improperly installed or OFF can cause a problem.

i have it set on Manual and know that it is the first thing to turn on before running EP.

sorry about the "guesting" in my request for a pm. was logged in [auto] but it seems if you take too long to compose your message, it 'guests' you. i do not apologize for the lower case, a leftover from reading too much e.e.cummings in my 'formulative' years. and why can it not be yahu if it is also...

The Yamaha provides pure-sine wave electricity ["better than mains"] so using the humidifier would be fine. I did not, just took the humidifier and used it as a pass-over which put some moisture in the air. I should have thought of testing the Yamaha with the humidifier but vacation was disrupted by...

As you may remember, I was headed off to an island with no electricity and was trying to figure out the best solution considering weight [all travels by small boat] and economics. As most of the solutions seemed to approach $500 and heavy batteries, I finally decided to buy a generator. I purchased ...

I have been using the breeze for 18 months and love it but at the extolling of people on the board, i got a CL2. I cannot keep it in place as it keeps riding up despite using Sullivan chinstrap [to keep my mouth closed] as i do with the breeze. the CL2 is very comfortable but it just does not stay p...

not backpacking but on an island a half mile by boat and a couple of hundred yards from shore. did not want to lug 50# back and forth to shore where there is electricity. am thinking about generator to charge during day because i do not know how much noise these small ones provide for nightime sleep...

my real interest in this question was, if i do not take my BiPapPro2, and cannot get a 12VDC bi-level machine, can I make it with a Auto Cpap for 10 days and consume less electricity. I have pretty much found that I need to get a small generator for recharging batteries during the day and still have...

Great Review Will,
I am moving from a BiPapPro2 in the next month so I will be very interested in your comprehensive reports.
Thanks.

I am at 14/11 BiPapPro2 by dx and 13/9 by trial and error As you may know, i am going to a NON electric location for at least 10 days. Last year, as a newbee, I forgo my machine and suffered for three or more weeks after getting back. I am looking for an alternative. Because BiLevel machines, my BiP...

A great ResMed article that answers most questions on DC operation. http://resmed.com/Shared/StaticFiles/-non-product-specific/battery-powering-products-usa.pdf For my trip, I had sort of decided to forgo trying to use my 24VDC BiPapPro2 and rent a 12VDC bilevel machine for the two weeks. My DME did...

a UPS, of course depending on size, will run an xPAP for just so long and is not an overnight or multi night solution. It will get you thru the "short" power failures and glitches all-be-it with an out of power alarm unless you disconnect it. If you plug the xPap into the UPS and the HHumi into the ...

On the cpap.com DC-DC, after doing so much research to find a 'better' price than $165, I forgot about that unit. Thanks. As far as the inverter goes, it just seems so inefficient to change DC to AC and then back to DC at the machine. Even two efficiencies of 90% will yield less than 80%, and when y...

As the BiPapPro2 and BiPapAuto require 24VDC, it is an odd animal. I have tried to find an affordable 12VDC to 24VDC converter and have found a component [box and wire yourself] one for under $200 and one all ready to go at $250. Also found one in UK and one in AUS. As I am not sure yet whether to s...
